How to Use YouTube Dark Mode

If you watch a lot of YouTube particularly in the dark or evening hours you may find it useful to enable the all-new Dark Mode YouTube interface. Dark Mode is just what it sounds like, it basically inverts the YouTube color scheme so that the background and surrounding interface of YouTube is blacks and dark grey rather than whites.

It looks great, and you can enable Dark Mode for YouTube on any web browser.

You will need to be logged into a Google account on YouTube to have access to the feature, beyond that it’s just a simple little settings toggle.

Enabling Dark Theme on YouTube

At the moment the dark theme is available on the YouTube website, soon perhaps it may be available in the apps too:

Seems they left a couple of steps out. You first have to go to the bottom of the page and click on “Test new features”. Then, click “Try new YouTube” in the middle of the page. On the next page, click “TRY IT NOW”. Then you will see “Dark Theme” when you click on your avatar.
